LONDON, Aug. 15.-The election in
the Northwich division of Cheshire Sat
urday to fill the vacancy caused by the
death of r. Verdin, Liberal UnioniSt,
resulted in another victory for the Glad
stonites. The vote stood: j. L. Brun-
ner, GladstOnian, 5,112: Lord Henry
GroSveHOr, Liberal UnioniSt, 1888. D..
Il. Drummer, the newly-elected member
of parliament for the Northwich dl-
vision of Cheshire, made an address to-
day to the electors of his district. In
the course of his remarks he said:
You have won a victory for Mr.. Gladstone
and for Ireland. The issue between the
classes and the masses has been made abso-
lutely clear for the first time. Ihc slgnln-
canoe of this message of peace to Ireland 1t IS
impossible TO over-rate.
1.-The result of the Norwich election
was a crushing blow TO the ConServa-
tiyeS and DiSSidentS, who were confident
that they would retain the seat. At
their clubs the news was re-
ceived with CONSERVATION. The Home
Rule clubs and centerS were
correSpondingly elated. A week ago
the Conservative Standard said that the
issue would be trial of strength under
peculiarly significant circumstances,
and pointed out that though Mr.. Brun-
ner was a large local employer, his op-
ponent was a member of an old Ches-
hire family that had been seated in
the county for centuries and had special
claims for the support of every Union
iSt.
DUBLIN, Aug. 15.-The Nationalists

victory in Cheshire. They declare

the National league in the face of de-
feat which completely changes the po-
litical situation.

and Lawyer MalcOm, who had been her

A VOUDOO DOCTOR.
He Will Go to Prison for Commit

LITTLE Rock, Ark, Aug. 15.-Intelli-
gence from DeSha county is to the effect
that tremendous excitement exists i'll
the negro communities bordering along
the river, owing to the conviction of DR..
Henry Harris, on the charge of having
murdered James Venters. Harris is
cOlOred and cures patients brought him
through the art of vOudOOiSm. He is re-
garded by the majority of the negroes
with SuperstitiOuS awe. He envelOpS
himself into mystery. No one knows
the secrets of his mediums. which must
be taken by patients with absolute faith
in their efficacy. Venters fell i'll and
was attended by Harris. Growing
worse, a local physician was summoned
who pronounced him suffering from
poison. When Venters died Harris was
arrested and placed i'll Jail The arrest
caused a sensation among both white and
black. Harris enemies boldly say that
he has killed many persons with his
diabOlical arts, citing in proof of the
assertion the names of several who
have lately died under his professional
charge. His friends point to the cases
OF variohs white people who have been
cured of what was at one time believed
to be fatal maladieS by simply using
certain charms which he furnished
them. His trial resulted in conviction
of manslaughter, and he Saturday was
sentenced to a term in state prison. 1t
is stated here this evening that there is
probability of Harris being taken from
Jail and hanged, the friends of Venters
being dissatisfied with the sentence.

BADLY TREATED.
Scant Courtesy Shown the Indian
Princes in England.

New YORK, Aug. ia London cable
says: Although it is well known fact
that the Indian prince, Maharajah
Holkar, and his confrereS had before
leaving England expressed their great
satisfaction at the kind treatment which
they had received, there is no doubt
that they felt sighted on one or more
occasions, and that they left the land to
whose sovereign they pay allegiance
with feelings of indignation at being
rated on lower basis of courtesy than
the petty princes Of the continent.
that were put upon them is an
old story and has excited popular COM
ment. and it is appreciated in all quar-
tiers that the expressions of satisfaction
of which the princes delivered them
selves were simply the polite utterances
of dignifed and courteous men upon
taking leave of their host. 1t is to be re-
gretted that these princes, especially
the powerful H0lkar, have been sent
from England with any feelings but
those of loyalty and friendship. And
in connection with this alienation of
Indian fealty comes the announcement
of Sir Clifford Lloyd's appointment as
lieutenant governor of Ceylon. This is
certainly an unwise movement to send
so unpopular a man as Clifford Lloyd
anywhere to have any part in the gov
ernment. The fact is that he is no
longer of any use at home, so the gov
ernment intends to send him
long distance away where bad gov
ernment does not matter so
much. The new appointee to Ceylon
had trial in Egypt and the SOudan
and also in Ireland. 1t is hardly neces-
sary to mention the unpopularity his
acts have won him, or the frequent EN-
broilments he has stirred up during his
career. 1t is useless to predict, but UNI
less Sir CliffordS former experiences
havestaught him wisdom his residence
in CeylOn will be fraught with anything
but comfort to those under him or with
honor to himself, and Englands prestige
in the East will suffer another blow.

Spain Ready to Celebrate the An
niversary in an Appropriate
Manner.
Special to the Globe.
New YORK, Aug. 15.-The Independ-
ent this week will publish letter from
j. l.. NJ. Curry, United States minister
to Spain, in reply to the editors request
for information as ehe attitude of Spain
toward the celebration of the fourth
centennial of the discovery of America
by Columbus. Mr.. Curry says that the
queen regent in a personal interview
July ID assured him of her interest
in the subject, and the same day he
received from the minister of state
communication to the same effect, stat
ing that the government had been for
some time engaged in preparing
the means for celebrating the
event. The council of ministers has
examined the question, and CON
suited with the Duke Veraqua,
the heir and most legitiment representa-
tive of Columbus, as to the means most
adequate for the object. The pro-
gramme cannot yet be given, but the
following decisions are announced:
First, that Spain will take the initiative
in celebrating in most solemn manner
the centennery of the discovery of Amer
lea in the year 1892. Second, that for
this purpose it will invite all the nations
who people the territory discovered by
Columbus to take part in the celebra-
ton, and third, that Spain. is ready at
the same time TO take part in any other
celebration and SOlemnity which may
be undertaken on the American con-
tinent to commemorate the great event.

STARVATION AHEAD.
Utter Failure OF the Fisheries on
the Labrador Coast.

u
the Labrador Coast.
New YORK, Aug. ia st. Johns,
N. F., special says the news of the utter
failure of the Labrador fisheries re-
ceived yesterday confirms the worst
fears of the people. The alarming re-
port is received that 1000 vessels are
coming back clean. and that the remain
ing 500 craft have only few quintals of
fish each. This is the most disastrous
thing that could happen to the fishing col
OnieS here, which depend entirely on
the yield of the ocean for their existence.
The news has produced an indeScribable
feeling of gloom and despair. There
has been wholesale exodus of New
f0undlanderS this year. Colonies of
fishermen have gone to the Pacific coast
to begin life anew in the rich fisheries
reported there. Thirty thousand people
go from Newfoundland to Labrador
every spring to fish. They go down in
small craft-whole families of them
and live semi-civiliZed life on hard tack
and rock cod during the summer, each
small schooner having fifteen to twenty
men and women indiScriminately mixed
together in the most barDarOuS manner.
Fully 10000 people are dependent upon
These people get in debt for their sup
plies, and depend solely upon their
seasons work to pay for supplies to
keep them through the long and
bitter winter. The last report has
now come to hand, and with it
the last hope of the people has
passed. The Northern Labrador fisheries
are total failure. Even the straits of
Belle Isle fisheries yield less than last
year, while from Cape Race, northward,
the fishery is such an utter failure that
it will not average five quintalS per
man. The outlook for the coming Win
ter is consequently worse than it was
last year. From present appearances
nothing but transportation to the Uni
ted States or Ca,ada, or subsistence at
the entire support of the government,
will save the whole resident population
of Labrador from slowly starving to
death.

The Chicago Carpenters.

CHICAGO, Aug. 15.-Ira B. Ayles-
worth, of the general executive board of
the Knights of Labor, left for Philadel-
phia after indorsing the stand taken by
the carpenters of Chicago in resisting
the attempt of contractors to abolish the
eight-hour day. He has been here since
Saturday investigating the situation, and
as result he promised that the execu-
tive board of the knights would now,
when necessary. help the local unions
in supporting carpenters left idle by a
refusal to work more than eight hours.
Over 4,50O of the total $500 carpenters
in the city are at work without any hav-
ing acceded to the demand made by the
bosses, except in the cases Of about $50,
none of whom are knights.

Greeley'S ReSldence.
Special to the Globe.
New BEDFORD, Mass, Aug. b.
Mrs. Cleveland and Mrs. Folsom took
their usual drive this morning, and on
their return received few callers. At
o'clock. the hour fixed for the public
reception to Mrs. Cleveland, many peo-
pie were in waiting at Gen. Greedy S
residence, and carriages lined the road
way for quite distance. A light rain
fell during the first few minutes of the
reception, but the sun came out then
and the evening set in pleasantly. The
reception was altogether informal. 1t
is estimated that at least LOCO persons
were presented to Mrs. Cleveland. The
majority of the callers were in plain
walking costume, although few
handsome toilets were noticed. Mrs.
Folsom aided Mrs. Cleveland in
receiving the callers who were pre-
scnted by Gen. and Mrs. Greely. Mrs
Cleveland was charmingly attired in
plain blue surah silk, with draperieS of
spotted illusion lace. Her cOrSage was
cut square and filled in with lace. and
she wore broad band of blue about her
neck. She shook hands with great
heartineSS, and her manner during the
reception made most pleasing impress
sion upon the callers. Many people
from the adjoining towns were present,
and half-dOZen carriages went from
New Bedford. twelve miles distant.
The street in front of the Greely resi-
dence was so crowded with carriages
that at times it was impossible. Gen.
Greedy said after the reception that Mrs.
Cleveland would probably accept no
further public attentions during her stay.

Murdered and Robbed.

ATLANTA, Ga, Aug. 15.-1he body of
Luke Mcnamara, a baker, was found on
the railroad yesterday horribly mutt
lated. A hole, though supposed to have
been made by bullet, and two gashes.
supposed to have been made by knife,
were found OH the body. Late Saturday
night Mcnamara was in the city drink
ing, and started to walk home. He then
had money in his pocket, but the money
was gone when the body was found.
The impression gains ground that the
man had been killed and robbed and
placed on the railroad track. Two he
groes found in the railroad yard were
arrested, and blood was found on the
clothing Of one. They deny their guilt,
but are held. The body was so badly
mutilated that the hole and gasheS
could not possibly be identified as the
bullet and knife wounds. McNamara's
home was in Lexington, Ky. He was
about twenty-five years old.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 15.-Secretary
Lamar has directed the revocation OF
the old order OF withdrawal of lands
within the indemnity limits of the At
lantic d Pacific railroad, thus restoring
them to settlement under the pre-emp-
ton and homestead laws. The question
involved in this order has been care
fully considered by the president and
his cabinet and it is understood that
this order will soon be followed by sim
liar orders throwing open to settlement
the indemnity lands claimed by the
other land grant roads. There are
about 3. .500.000 acres of indemnity lands
claimed by the Atlantic IL Pacific road,
and about II, ,0O0.0O acres by the other
roads. Secretary Lamar i'll a letter
to the commiSSSry of the general land
office, drted Aug. 13, directing the reSto-
ration of the Atlantic ~ Pacific lndem-
nifty lands, presents an elaborate reYe-
hue of the company'S showing why the
order should not be revoked, and OF the
laws bearing on the question, as well as
a long argument in support OF his ac-
ton. The grant TO the Atlantic IL Pa
